Dubai, 19 Jun 2016: Mogaveers UAE successfully conducted a Blood Donation campaign at Lathifa Hospital here on Tuesday June 14 that is 9th day of Holy month of Ramadan from 8.00pm to 11.00pm. This campaign was dedicated to World Blood Donor’s Day.

 

An enthusiastic team of Mogaveers UAE led by Balakrishna Salian was at Blood Donation Centre of Lathifa Hospital, here early to assist and guide all the voluntary donors.

 

Mogaveers UAE members from across UAE arrived at the Centre for this noble cause and donated their precious blood.

 

 

              

 

As per the Dubai Blood Donation Centre (DBDC), the need for blood is ongoing and must be met every day. The demand for blood is growing faster than the collection rate and DBDC has requested to have an instant response to the rapid growth in blood demand which is obviously proportionate to the fast growing population of the city along with health care facilities. The seasonal blood shortage obviously occurs in the holy month of Ramadan and through the summer holidays. DBDC is the only blood supplier in Dubai. It’s services are extended to Thalassemia patients (Thalassemia Center at Lathifa Hospital, Dubai), road accident and burn victims (Trauma Centre at Rashid Hospital), patients with neonates and maternity health complications (Lathifa Hospital, Dubai), cases diagnosed with cancer or scheduled for open heart operations (Dubai Hospital) as well as to all private health facilities within Dubai that are entitled for transfusion services.

 

A strong team of Mogaveers UAE executive Committee was present till the end of the campaign and distributed fresh fruits along with the juice and goodie bag of World Blood Donor’s day to all the donors present during the campaign.

 

On behalf of Mogaveers UAE, Bala as a promoter of blood donation drive thanked all the associations, individuals, and media persons who supported this noble cause during this campaign and throughout the year.

 

From this year onwards, Mogaveer sUAE will be conducting the blood donation campaigns twice a year that is December to mark UAE’s National day and on June 14  which is the World Blood Donor’s Day.
